"I almost flunked kindergarten."

One would think a kindergarten completion exam would be easy to ace. One would also tend to think that even a kindergartner could ace such a test. As a young Bret was to prove, this is not always the case.

A worried teacher called his mother one Spring afternoon, a tone of concern in her voice. It seemed as though Bret had gotten just about every question incorrect on the first grade preparation test. She could not figure out the rhyme or reason to his answers and she was worried she'd have to hold him back. Once his mother encouraged the teacher to ask young Bret for the rationale behind his answers, she discovered he had perfectly good reasoning behind his answers, just not the expected ones.

Bret has taken this different view of the world and applied it to how Workshed approaches every project, first as a freelance  business in 1997 up to our newest incarnation as a boutique interactive agency. Bret has done work in his past for companies like E*Trade, GE Capital, SunTrust Bank and Nike. Having amassed equal parts strategic, writing, creative, technical and audio experience, Bret feels blessed to have such a great team at Workshed to help him carry on the tradition of great interactive work.

Bret enjoys spending time with his wife, cycling, embarking on creative projects with his  two young children, as well as writing, recording and performing music. He sometimes finds time to write fiction and non-fiction, but don't tell him we told you that.
